The equation y=0.25xy=0.25x describes a proportional relationship between xx and yy. What is the constant of proportionality?

Question

k=k=

Answer 1

The equation given is \( y = 0.25x \).

In a proportional relationship, the equation can be expressed in the form \( y = kx \), where \( k \) is the constant of proportionality.

From the equation \( y = 0.25x \), we can see that the constant of proportionality \( k \) is \( 0.25 \).

Thus, the constant of proportionality is:

\[ k = 0.25 \]
